Oh my god, can you play like this?

Gu Shurui shook Gu Lanzhi's arm frantically, "Brother, brother, wake up and don't sleep anymore. I really have something important to tell you!"

How could Gu Lanzhi not wake up after being shaken by Gu Shurui? He looked at the startled Gu Shurui speechlessly.

"You better have something important to say, or I'm really going to spank you!"

This body is only three years older than Gu Shurui, but Gu Lanzhi's soul is already over 30 years old. Looking at a 17-year-old boy is not much different from looking at a child, so it was natural for him to say that he wanted to spank Gu Shurui.

When Gu Shurui heard Gu Lanzhi say that he was going to spank him, he looked at Gu Lanzhi with shame and anger on his face, "Brother, I'm already seventeen years old, you can't spank me like you did when I was a child, I'm grown up, I'm an adult!"

Gu Lanzhi chuckled in his heart. He never thought that the original body had really spanked Gu Shurui!

"Okay, okay, you've grown up now, you're an adult, so just tell me what it is!"

Gu Shurui looked around the yard nervously, and finally waved at Mo Yi and Mo Er, signaling them to stay away.

Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui's nervous look and knew that what Gu Shurui wanted to tell him might really be something important, so he sat up straight unconsciously.

After Gu Shurui confirmed that the environment was safe, he whispered to Gu Lanzhi: "Brother, I heard the Fifth Prince's men report to him today, and it seems that the news was passed back by their spies in the palace.

The emperor said that he wanted the Ninth Prince to attend the dinner tonight as well, and it seemed like he had some other plans.

But the Fifth Prince spoke to his men in a very low voice, so I didn't hear clearly and only caught these few words.

If this matter was not important, the Fifth Prince's men would not have rushed to tell him so anxiously.

I don’t know if this will be bad for you. After all, you are a marquis now. I came to tell you as soon as I got back!

I don’t understand. Isn’t the Ninth Prince already terminally ill? Isn’t it said that he can’t even get out of bed? Why did the Emperor take any action against him? And at the palace banquet?”

After hearing what Gu Shurui said, Gu Lanzhi's face turned cold.

Just because Gu Shurui couldn’t figure it out didn’t mean Gu Lanzhi didn’t understand!

The emperor couldn't wait for the Ninth Prince to die, and wanted to speed up his death.

Seeing that Gu Lanzhi remained silent, Gu Shurui shook Gu Lanzhi's arm again, "Brother, say something!"

Gu Lanzhi came back to his senses and looked at Gu Shurui, "This matter has no impact on us, so if you heard it, just pretend you didn't hear it, okay?"

Gu Shurui rolled his eyes at Gu Lanzhi and said, "How could I not understand this? I just don't understand what the emperor wants to do!"

"Why? Haven't you heard the rumors that our emperor's throne was not so innocent?" Gu Lanzhi's voice was extremely cold.

Gu Shurui thought for a while, "It seems to be..."

"It's normal that you don't remember. You were too young at that time and had no contact with the affairs of the previous dynasty."

Gu Shurui looked at Gu Lanzhi with wide eyes, curiously, "Brother, is this true according to you?"

Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui warningly, and Gu Shurui immediately said, "I'm just curious, so I'm asking. I know I can't talk nonsense."

Gu Lanzhi nodded. "We are not the ones who were involved in it. We don't know what happened back then. It's hard to say how it happened."

Gu Shurui said thoughtfully: "There is no smoke without fire. That means the person who should have inherited the throne in the first place... was the Ninth Prince?"

Gu Shurui opened his eyes wide in horror. Although he had no contact with the affairs of the previous dynasty, as a child of the general's mansion, how could Gu Shurui not understand anything at all!

Gu Lanzhi gave Gu Shurui another warning look, and Gu Shurui quickly covered his mouth with his hands, surprise in his eyes.

"Only those who were involved in the incident know the full story. Everyone else is just guessing. If you keep this to yourself and spread rumors, I can't protect you!"

Gu Shurui stared with his eyes wide open, covered his mouth, and nodded repeatedly.

Gu Lanzhi looked up at the sky and said to Gu Shurui, "Go back and get ready. It's not long before we enter the palace."

Gu Shurui still covered his mouth and nodded stupidly, then walked out with his mouth covered.

Seeing Gu Shurui walking away, Gu Lanzhi called Mo Wu and whispered a few words in Mo Wu's ear. Mo Wu then went towards the direction of the Ninth Prince's Palace.

Gu Lanzhi lay in the rocking chair, looking at the sky which had not yet been polluted by the environment, enjoying all the beautiful things in the present.

Gu Lanzhi has experienced the transition from modern times to the end of the world. The world's environment was already not very good before the end of the world, not to mention that after the end of the world, Gu Lanzhi has never seen the blue sky.

The sky at the end of the world is always gray, as if one has always been living in a fog.

With such a blue sky now, how could Gu Lanzhi not enjoy it!

"Master, it's time for you to change your clothes and prepare to enter the palace."

Mo Yi came over and helped Gu Lanzhi up from the rocking chair, and helped Gu Lanzhi change clothes.

In order to make the Marquis' Mansion less conspicuous, the eldest lady prepared two carriages in total, one for the men and one for the women. Fortunately, there were not many people in the Marquis' Mansion, so there was enough space.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the men entered the palace separately from the women. The women went into the harem first to meet the queen and the queen mother. It was definitely impossible for the men to go to the harem, so they went directly to the front court.

Gu Shurui and Gu Jingcheng had both been to the palace. After all, they were from the general's mansion, and it was common for them to attend banquets in the palace.

Gu Lanzhi originally thought that Gu Jingcheng might be a little nervous due to his young age, but Gu Jingcheng was mature beyond his years. Not only did he not look nervous at all, but he was very polite and courteous in greeting and seeing off guests. He was more steady than the Marquis Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Lanzhi was really impressed by his younger brother. He whispered in Gu Shurui's ear, "Does this kid usually act like this in front of you?"

Gu Shurui rolled his eyes at Gu Lanzhi as soon as he heard this, and said unhappily, "Brother, are you deliberately making fun of me?"

"Ah?" Gu Lanzhi really didn't react to what Gu Shurui meant.

"I know I was wrong and I'm working hard to correct it. My brother, can you please stop bringing this up? I'm embarrassed as your brother!"

"What the hell?" Gu Lanzhi still didn't react.
